Music rights

Music rights refer to the legal permissions needed to use, reproduce, distribute, or perform copyrighted music. These rights are usually owned by songwriters, composers, performers, or record labels. Licensing agreements are required to legally use music in projects like movies, commercials, or public performances, ensuring creators are compensated. There are different types of rights, including copyright (for the song’s composition) and neighboring rights (for recorded performances). Managing these rights helps protect the interests of artists and creators while allowing others to use music lawfully.
